Where is the testing being performed?
We use Sorenson Genomics, Utah to perform our Y-chromosome, mtDNA and forensic work. The testing facility is accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) for Parentage Testing and has recently gained ISO 17025 accreditation by the Forensic Quality Services of the National Forensic Science and Technology Center (NFSTC). It is the only laboratory in the world to be ISO accredited for genealogical testing and has considerable experience testing ‘genetic genealogy’ samples, currently totalling approx. 75,000 tests. Additionally we use Marligen Biosciences, Maryland for Y-SNP tests and Alpha Biolaboratory, California for mtDNA tests.
